Blue Teddy in Distress…
Blue Teddy is his person’s favorite bear. At 70 plus years old though, he was showing his age pretty severely. Here are a couple of his diagnosis photos:
Not only was he deflating, and having joint issues, but his fabric was disintegrating in place due to age and drying, and as you can see, he was no longer blue. While initially the plan was a spa, new joints, and wound repair, in person examination of his fabric proved he really needed all new fur, and his original fur was too fragile to clean so “the full works” recover it was. Finding blue lamb style fur (that funky texture he has), took a bit, but eventually we found a good match.
Here are his initial recover photos, with his facial features reembroidered, fully recovered, and joints repaired. Those are original eyes, just different lighting:
His nose needed some tweaking, and here it is in the final form:
“Well done!!!! He looks so huggable!” said his person.
Blue Teddy headed home, but already his person was thinking of sending his friend, White Elephant, for similar treatment.
BTW, when Blue Teddy arrived home, his person wrote:
“Delighted to say that Blue Teddy arrived home today in his splendid new suit…and he looks fantastic! What is particularly delightful is that you restored his face back to his original personality. I can’t believe how good he looks!!!!!!”
